Both Powell and Obama are black who are elite and look white.

I have a question to Ameican people here.
Obama's father is black but I heard he's not a descendent of
slaves. I just thought some white people can't tolerate a decendent
of slaves becoming president but can accept black president if his
ancestors aren't slaves.
Do you think there would be any differences in American people's minds
if his father were a decendent of slaves?
37:名無しさん＠英語勉強中

Sorry, Obama doesnt look white.
Powell looks whiter but doesn't look white.
I agree race had connection with Powell's endorsement.
Powell was different from so-called neo-cons. So Powell
can be be attracted to Democrats more easily than hawks like Bill Kristol.
However MaCain is Powell's old friend and MaCain's policy is close to
Powell's position.
I think race was the decisive point.

I heard it was rather black people who didn't like Obama's

descencants of slaves are real Black brethren.
First, Hillary was more popular than Obama among Black people.

Ah, Leahman リーマン? I have just noticed your pun.
I'm not sure アメリカ人 really understood your pun.
Slaryman and Leahman man sounds similar. So He may have understood
the word game on the spot. I'm not sure he knew the word
リーマン(abbreviation of salaryman) which sounds exactly the same as Leahman(リーマン) in
Japanese.
To be serious I don't they they should be killed. At least they got
punishment with their bankruptcy.
Financial institutions who will be relieved should be punished somehow
in exchange for infushion of public funds.
CEOs who get away with golden parachute should return their money.
They say salary was proportionate to their revenue. But revenue was
padded by fictional supposition.

Boy, I couldn't catch the sound of "naacp" for the life of me.
First I doubted my ear.
Then I finally found out I was just dumb, not literally.
"naacp" sounded like nwapc for example at any cost.
N(WA, which means double A) CP! hahahahaha.
In this case, is W pronouced as double(dAbl) or W(dAbju:)?

Dumb can be mute, or it can also mean stupid. The latter is purely casual
in use. It's universal slang, if you will.
>>40
Not entirely sure what you're asking. NAACP is an acronym, though people
generally say "n double a c p" instead of "n a a c p" since there are
two of the letter 'a' right next to one another.
44:Ether ◆4p9idX66UM
08/10/23 05:32:23
>>40
I should also mention that while that seems redundant due to the fact
that saying "double" is longer than saying "a", this isn't the case for
many English speakers. It seems more awkward to say "a a" than to say
"double a". "Double a" transitions very easily for many of us, where
as "a a" is choppy and takes more effort.
45:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
08/10/23 06:23:24
? So they say N double A CP. Not NWAPC?
The pronunciations of W and Double is similar.
That's another confusing point.
The letter "W" can be a substitute for double on the
internet by dictionary. Even if in that case, Do you read "double" not "W"?
For example, "W-login?".

Do you guys have email magazines come to your inbox?
In Japan, there are several major email magazine stands where you can
choose email magazines you want to be delivered. The genrews are unlimitied
ranging from relationships, PC skills, English learning, financing,
child rearing, business. You name it they have it. Some are free some
require you to pay a certain amount a month. Most of them is free.
You can even be a publisher of a email magazine. It's not difficult to
become a publisher. Just following steps on these email magazine stands
and you'll be a publisher. Their source of revenue is ads on each
magazines.
I read several email magazines delivered. Do you have one stop mail magazine
stands like this in your country? As far as I know, the most common way of getting
email magazine is you subscribe on a particular website, not a email magazine
stand.
62:Ether ◆4p9idX66UM
08/10/23 13:19:39
>>61
You can do the same thing here, but it's generally only an online process.
You sign up online, not in a real location. Though, I don't think it's
particularly popular. Heck, most people seem to subscribe to real magazines
online as well these days. I can't remember seeing any real magazine stands
here, but I've heard they still exist in places like New York.
63:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
08/10/23 14:02:11
>>62
I'm talking about online process and emai magazine stands mean
websites that publish emailmagazine.
For instance, if I start to publish email magazine, then I go to one
of these email magazine website and sign up. The interval I write
an email magazine can be deicided by me. My magazine tytle would be
"How to read newspaper in English." First, nobody hasn't subscribed my
magazine, but my email magazine would be featured as a new email
magazine in the category of learning English, and English learners
who spot my magazine and get interested in would subscribe my magazine.
They are all online process.

I'm only familiar with email "newsletters" which just give a brief update on content, but I don't think many people use them.
The trend now is to offer online content for free and use advertisements to make money.
The New York Times has been doing this for awhile (www.nytimes.com) since newspapers have been losing money for a long time.
Print media just isn't as popular anymore since the internet is so convenient (and free).
Question: Do most people read these email magazines on their cellphones or on their PC?
65:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
08/10/23 14:44:34
>>64
I know what you mean because I read NYT and CNN's "newsletter," too.
This is my observation but these "newsletter's main focus is to
lure subscribers to the original website, which is NYT.com or CNN.com
while those "email magazine" I talked about is giving useful information
without luring to any specific websites.
But if email magazine's writer owns business, then that can double as
a marketing tool to lure subscribers to their websites.
In my case, I read email magazines on my PC but when you subscribe a
email mgazine filling in your cell phone's address, they can be delivered
to your cell phone, I guess. But I have email magazines delivered to hotmail
and hotmail can be seen through cell phone, so I think I can read my email
magazine with my cell phone, too.

Never stop speaking English, even if you aren't very good at it.
The key is to have the guts to speak, I have observed that
Japanese are very shy when it comes to English, because they may
fear failure or mistakes. If this describes you accurately, then
discard the notion that you must be perfect, you only need to
get your point across. Once you can speak and be understood, then
the correction can begin.

Our educational system of English is point deduction system.

video from the Yamanote train party a few days ago: URLﾘﾝｸ(au.youtube.com)
Seems like it wasn't that big. Also, at about 5:20 in the video they talk to a 2ch person.
I don't think they should have been mocking the 2ch guy so much, it'll only make him hate them even more (not that those partyers probably care).
What kind of answer did they expect from the 2ch guy by mocking him? It would have been better if they got a conversation going, but I guess that would have ruined all the fun.
Oh and it seems as if the Facebook event has been canceled.

And poliice protection? Give me a break. Obviousy the police must have been there

Protect from what? There are no reasons to protect those garbages.

John Lennon was a clever guy.
It's arguable whether he was more talented than McCartney.
I suppose Lennon deliberately chose the songs which shoud be
repeated in a certain time span and which handle
the eternal questions like world peace. His songs
remain in our ears : Happy Christmans and Imagine.

Japanese is also confused about how to count creatures.
匹ひきhiki is applicable to all creatures except human-beings.
But 鳥が三匹いる is not good in writing. We should write

Pronunciation is also tiring.
ippiki nihiki sannbiki yonnhiki gohiki roppiki

keira: I agree with you about holidays and their lost meanings.
Christmas, for example, has become more of an excuse to go shopping
for those shopaholics, and a painful & costly chore for others...
Kids receive mountains of toys and other junk, only to be played with for
a very short while, then stashed away indefinitely. Adults receive stuff
they will never take out of the closet after the holiday's over, and they
are quietly brought over to a friend's garage sale one day. There is no
real love or thoughts in those presents, but just another wrapped item so it
appears that you are loved by someone...
What happened to the religious stuff that was supposedly the main event?
I was shocked to see Japanese houses decorated with Christmas lights..
That was never seen in residencial buildings when I still lived there
(17 years ago).
But I hear people still line-up to buy KFC (!) that is unchanged since then.
And of course, they will turn around and go to jinja on the New Year's Day.
Maybe it is one example of Japanese culture becoming more diverse -
which maybe is a good thing in some ways, although I hate to see
the traditional rituals slowly being replaced.
To me, Christmas has practically no meaning, since I don't practice
Christianity and don't believe in commercialism tied up with religious
holidays.

I am not a pumpkin carving Halloween fanatic, but don't mind giving out
candies sometimes. I enjoy seeing neighbor's children dress up and
have fun. When I see bigger kids, say over 12, I make them sing a
song, or tell a joke before the treat gets handed out.
But I don't care for those teenagers who come to my door smelling
like ashtray. They can choose either to be like that, or stay as
kids.
When we need to be concerned is when we can't let kids do the
trick-or-treating anymore, because it's too scary to knock on
people's doors.

Yes, A lot of the Christianity is leaving Christmas, but maybe that aspect isn't so bad.It's good that people of all religions can still celebrate the holidays and get together.
I know some Atheists and Buddhists who still celebrate the holidays because they do it for the friendly atmosphere and parties that go with it. My friends are sort of starting to let go of the material side of Christmas and I think that's good.
We value each other's company, not our gifts.
>>165

I personally believe that if you're 14 or older, you're too old to be trick or treating.
I'm tired of old teenagers coming up to my door, not even in costume and asking for candy. D:
I think "aren't you old enough to buy your own candy? Leave some for the little kids!"
And there are parents too, who have their babies dressed up and in strollers. It's obvious the babies are too young to eat the candy, the mothers just want to eat it all for themselves!
but I always give out candy regardless because I don't want anyone to throw eggs at my house or car. A neighbor down the street has toilet paper thrown in their trees almost every year. D:

put on an act for the kids whenever they come to my house. It's a lot

just mooching candy, but it's not such a big deal.

Well since Election Day is coming up (November 4 this Tuesday, I'm voting) I thought it'd be interesting for everyone to take a look at the latest poll results:
www.fivethirtyeight.com
538 = the number of electoral votes. A candidate must win at least 270 electoral votes to win. Each state is worth a certain amount of electoral votes depending on its population.
For example, California is worth 55 votes and Hawaii is worth 4 votes.
www.fivethirtyeight.com's creator was actually a baseball statistician and now he uses those statics skills to compile data from many polls to predict the 2008 election.

Whoops, I should proofread.
"statics skills" should be "statistics skills"
Also, I should mention that a state is won by a candidate if the majority of the population votes for him.
If the state is won, all electoral votes are won by the candidate (Blue = Obama and Red = McCain projections).

This graph is from a virtual and fake stock exchange where people "buy" stocks for either Obama or Mccain:

America, the epicenter of the economic crisis, and a sinister and ugly
Presidential election. Even so, America should do what it's supposed to do
as the center of the world.
Economists at Wall Street pointed out that the Korean economy is infested
with spectators. The Wall Street Journal says that even though multiple problems
are seen at the same time in Korea, Korean high-ranking officers refuse financial
support from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Moreover, it's heard from
various places that Korea has forgotten the lessons of the Asian currency crisis.
That is absolutely ridiculous. Who triggered the crisis and spread it all over the
world? Why are they that arrogant?
221:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
08/11/03 19:07:04
As far as IMF support is concerned, it is America who should begin to accept
their aid. The only reason America hasn't gone bankrupt until now is because
it can print as many dollar bills as they want. Without that ability, spectators would have
gulped down the whole country already.
Aside from the burst of the American housing bubble and the root causes of speculation,
there are more genuine American economic illnesses. Namely, the trade and budget
deficit of America that have become monstrous. The more dollar bills America prints,
the larger the budget deficit will be ballooning. Someday, America will be placing this
enormous burden on the entire world. Even if that time comes, will Wall Street scold
the country it has damaged, and still point their finger at the infestation of currency specters?
At the sight of the scene in Washington, the problematic politics America is carrying seem
bigger than they have ever been. The intense and ugly election campaign season is heating
up in America between Democrats and Republicans just like before, as if it were a divided
nation. The Eastern and Western coastal regions side with Democratic Party, while inland regions
favor the Republican Party. 70% of those making an annual salary of less than $35,000 support
Obama's candidacy, while those making more than $50,000 per year tend to support McCain.

"The economic horizon has now significantly darkened
[ as the European Union economy is hit by the financial crisis

But I think these words were aimed at each white and each christian.
I heard left-wingers and right-wingers were accusing the glorification of
jefferson's words because it's off the jefferson's real intention.
Jeffeson was against slavery but he had slaves.
He had a plan to repatriate all the slaves to Africa.
Jefferson pitied african slaves but he owned slaves to pay back
his debt. He pitied african slaves but it's from superior feelings.

And many Americans today still think blacks are inferior. My own grand-
mother voted against Obama solely because his skin color is black. I
mean for gods sake, the man was raised by white guardians, has a white
attitude, appearance, mannerisms...
The guy came from poverty (born from a teenage mother and a negligent
father), but he didn't come from the freaking ghetto.
The fact that the Republicans' scare tactics and propaganda campaigns
(via Obama being hinted as a Muslim (and therefore a terrorist)) did
not work this campaign is merely that people disapprove of
Bush's presidency, not so much that they wanted a black president or
thought his policies were so wonderful.

Looking at California county-by-county, it seems that the only counties to vote
against Prop. 8 were the ones in the Bay Area.
I'm glad I live where I live. I may not have turned out so well, otherwise...
There is still some time before Prop. 8 goes into effect. Also, it isn't an ex
post facto law, so it won't affect people who are already married. I expect a rush
of weddings...

Do American people know how much their debt amounted to and
China almost has the right to kill dollar value?
If China gives away American bonds, America will die soon.
I don't think other countries like Japan and England (both lend
large money to America) would do such a thing, though.
How can Obama get billions of dollars if dollar bills
almost become worthless? No one would want worthless money?

The stupid war that they kinda started without any real plans, it's costing them $600 billion a YEAR at the moment.
Such a waste that couldve been better spent on health care, education, and welfare system (and bigger bail-out plan lawl).
Unless they are really really really incredibly retarded (not good-looking), they wouldnt start another war.

Yes, I'm an American. I'm neither republican nor democrat though; if anything,

Anyway, for those in here associating Obama with Proposition 8 banning
gay marriage in California, you can stop now - the Presidential candidates
(and Presidents themselves, for that matter) don't really have much say
in State legislatures. Especially before they're even in office.
Proposition 8 was for California only, and was voted for or against
by Californians only. Florida had a similar Proposition 2, which also
passed. Considering both Florida and California went blue (especially
California), this was a shock to quite a few people.

I don't believe so.
Sure, Obama said America should make brand-new cars, not Japan nor Korea.
But he seemed to forget that Toyota set up car factories in America
and employed many American people: In other words, Toyota became
an American company, so to say. If the would-be president bashed
the Japanese company, both sides lose good oppotunities.
Well, I'm not sure, however, if Obama is so short-sighted
that all foregine companies should be out from America.

I think the reason why other countries lost their respect for America is because the Bush administration used our "superpower" status too much.
Right after 9/11 the world supported us, but when Bush decided to use our power to fight a stupid war in Iraq and try to bully countries like Iran and North Korea,
I think most of the world saw us as power hungry and arrogant.
It'd be hard for Obama to make things worse when he is reversing many of Bush's failed policies.

I see what you mean. In fact, even though Obama said America can change,
he's elected Biden as vice president and many other old faces as well.
But he was chosen because he promised he would protect national economy,
and that's why he has to put regulation on buisiness.
The problem is, where does he prepare big money to realize his promise.
Personally, he would make many contries buy American Treasury Bonds.
